    you pay on single-cpu boxes to gain speed at the SMP boxes. And if this
    is true the question becomes if fine-grained locking is worth the
    implementation time when most computers are still single-cpu (Yes, I
    know this can change rapidly with the newer CPU types).

    It will change. Both AMD and Intel will be releasing dual core CPUs this
    year. This seems to be the future for most CPUs.
